If it happened to me two things would occur when I healed up; #1--my brother would be in for a good a**kicking for being a stupid idiot; #2--I would differently end all hunting relationships with him, until he took and passed a bowhunting education course. Glad your ok.

Glad to hear your OK velvetfvr. One other tip about broadheads for you all, please use a broadhead wrench when working with your broadheads. I had a friend putting on broadheads the night before the hunt, he didn't use a wrench and ended up cutting his thumb really bad. He couldn't draw his bow for a few weeks, so be careful with them blades, they are meant to kill.

True statement.. Everytime I'm putting on a broadhead, without a wrench, I'm thinking to myself "You are gonna be so pissed when you cut your finger off."

I second this. I have a triangular scar on my left thumb where i sunk a muzzy blade down to the bone while getting ready for a hunt. ALWAYS USE A BROADHEAD WRENCH!

Glad you're ok, could have definately been worse. They are sharp enough to pass through a bull elk, I always try to keep that in mind to keep myself from getting careless. Hate to have a hunt ruined b/c you get excited and careless, it happens though. Also if you do get cut, have something (triple antibiotic) to clean the wound. I was mtn. biking in Co a few years back, wrecked and scraped my knee real good. That didn't slow me down for that trip, but about 2-3 wks later I got a staph infection in that knee, and that put me down awhile.
